I would suggest putting the result of the grouping in a variable, and then processing the variable:

<xsl:variable name="temp">
<xsl:for-each-group ....>
   <group>
   ...
   </group>
</xsl:for-each-group>
</xsl:variable>

then count($temp/group)

Hi everybody,

is there a way to retrieve the number of groups that have been found by
<xsl:for-each-group> outside this instruction?


XML: <line> v <tab /> w <tab /> x <tab /> y <tab/> z <line>

(v, w, x, y, z being mixed data)


<xsl:for-each-group select="node()" group-ending-with="tab"> b& here, the function last() gives me the number I want, but b& </xsl:for-each-group> b& I need the figure here. b&


Maybe I am entirely on a false track?


What I want is:
(1) if there are less than n groups do something afterwards.
(2) If there are more than m groups do something different.


Thanks for your answers, Norbert
